Second in the Pocket History series. The incredible survival story of Ernest Shackleton and his 27 crew stranded on the Antarctic ice for 2 years after the crushing of their ship, Endurance. This video is based on journals from the expedition written at the time of the abandonment of the vessel, and takes the form of four diary entries outlining life in the Antarctic and being set adrift on the ice. It is intended for education purposes and is meant to supplement the reading of a book about the heroic adventure.

I have recently started selling lessons and materials connected with my videos on the website TeachersPayTeachers. The lesson for this consists of a listening quiz, vocabulary exercise, reading and writing extension materials and a graphic comic.
